The better results (drastically better) was with his anxiety/mood. He said they made him "feel" better. I'm sure with your nerve damage you know how the anxiety and depression come with chronic pain. It's an illness in and of itself. But he felt way better and I could even tell the difference in his mood on the Nortriptyline. He seemed happy. He said the physical pain was still there but he was able to do more. He said it's there but I don't care as much anymore. That's how he described it to me. This stuff is really good for anxiety. Well, in my husband's case and he's to the point where hardly anything affects him. The Neurontin did not have nearly the same effect, even when it was upped to 1200 mg.

He was on 900 mg. Neurontin (3 - 300 mg. capsules a day) and now just 2-25mg. capsules of Nortriptyline and it made a biggest difference.

Hope this helps !
